I know better by now than to get my hopes up for ratings.

TOTALLY unfair that Y&R and B&B's Monday numbers aren't included!

Yeah for Days!!!!!! enjoy the ice cream, boy did the cast deserve it for last week...

DAMN!! Look at NBC!!! Go Days and Pasions!!!

They haven't had ice creme it a LONG TIME!!!

In total viewers, averages for the week were: CBS, 4.2 million; ABC, 3.2 million; NBC, 3.1 million.

WOW! NBC is only 100,000 viewers from catching ABC. I don't think I have ever seen them that close?

This Week vs Last Week

ABC (-300,000)

CBS (-100,000

NBC (same)

TOTALLY unfair that Y&R and B&B's Monday numbers aren't included!

Totally Agreed!

Stupid CBS for making the decision to not include Monday's ratings.

GO NBC. It's nice to see them have a great week in demos.

Totally Agreed!

Didn't NBC always use their holiday numbers in the 90's? And even now?

CBS made that decision?! WHY?!

Good for DAYS! They really do deserve that Ice Cream! Eat it up, KA!

THIS IS BULLSHIT

BULLSHIT

PSNS deserves wayyyyyyyyyyyy higher from last week. WAY HIGHER

THIS IS BULL

$%#^ the ratings

ALL I WANT IS A 2.0 for PSNS! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?

A 1.9....ALl I want is a 2.0 THIS IS HORSE [!@#$%^&*]

What is so special about those Y&R and B&B episodes?

So,the day of GL's "new way of storytelling" was their lowest rated show?

I don't think it was the idea of a character-focused Wednesday that turned people off...guess some people just didn't want to watch a whole show about Harley..and episode did drag.

I've read an overall positive response for the Josh & Reva episode so next week's ratings should be better.

TOTALLY unfair that Y&R and B&B's Monday numbers aren't included!

To each their own. I don't think it will make much difference anyhow. Both soaps will still be in the top 2 spots as always.

Waiting for HH....

CBS made that decision?! WHY?!

I believe the networks have to decide beforehand to make an episode "special." So, CBS decided to play it safe, just in case there would have been a dip in viewership on that day, which would have made their ratings worse. But, what's stupid is that Christmas and New Year's always seem to pull in big ratings, so it's an odd decision on their part. I think they've been overly cautious with the ratings ever since Barbara Bloom became the CBS daytime chief.

I agree, I think they play it safe in case it backfires. I'm not sure about the details and perhaps I'm not 100% correct, but I seem to remember reading that back during the 1998-99 Christmas/New Year's holiday, CBS did include the ratings from Christmas Day when all the CBS soaps showed old classic episodes (sure wish they still did that!) and by doing that it actually brought their weekly averages down. In GL's case, I think they got a 4.2 for that week but if they hadn't included the Christmas rerun, it would've been a 4.4.

These daytime ratings get more and more depressing
